Oath of the Jedi/Sith (5e Subclass)
Oath of the Jedi/Sith
These Paladins, who have a strong connection to the force, often follow the teachings of other force users, often, Jedi, or Sith... (Realise that this class will not fit most Fifth Edition Dungeons & Dragons campaigns, and you must ask your Dungeon Master before using this class.)
- The Jedi Code
At third level upon taking this subclass, you either follow this Code, the Jedi Code, or the Sith Code.
There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no death, there is the Force.
- The Sith Code
Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.
- Holocron
At third level, you have a Jedi or Sith's Holocron, received from your last combat encounter (If it is a no-combat campaign, work this out with your DM), or, given by a Jedi or Sith. This Holocron shows you many things, such as, how to build a Lightsaber, and many of the Force's secrets. Upon taking this subclass, you gain Lightsaber proficiency. There are six kinds of Lightsabers. The cost shows how much gold you must spend in materials to craft the Lightsaber, the time shows how long it will take to finish in hours of work. In most lightsabers (exceptions are Saberpike and Lightwhip) if you are attacked by a ranged attack, you can use your reaction to roll an acrobatics check against the attacker's attack roll, if you beat it, the attack is reflected away from you.

- Trust in the Force
At 3rd level, you have used your connection to the force to gain some precognition (knowing when your enemies will strike). Your AC while you are not wearing armor equals 10 + Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier.
- Force Powers
At 3rd level, Force Powers are added to your spell list, you also gain the Mage Hand cantrip (the hand is invisible). These powers are detailed here. (Note, Force Powers that require one Action to activate, count as an Attack Action, meaning you can take extra attacks after using one, or, you could use one as an extra attack)
- Lightsaber Form
At 5th level, you choose one Lightsaber Form to focus on. To gain the benefit of any of these forms, you must be wielding a type of Lightsaber.
Shii-Cho
You practiced Form I: Shii-Cho, based on sweeping offensive movements, used to disarm an opponent. When you hit with a weapon attack, you can choose to forgo the damage, and instead disarm your opponent, their weapon falls 5 feet away from them, to their left or right (Your choice)
Makashi
You practiced Form II: Makashi, based on dueling, and precise quick attacks. You gain a +1 bonus to all rolls to hit with a Lightsaber, this bonus is added last, if the total is 20 because of this feature, it is treated as a natural 20.
Soresu
You practiced form III: Soresu, based on defense. You gain a +1 bonus to your AC.
Ataru
You practiced form IV: Ataru, based on fast, acrobatic attacks. Upon taking this form, you gain a +5 bonus to your movement speed. If you move at least 10 feet on your turn, and then attack an enemy, you have advantage on the attack.
Shien/Djem So
You practiced form V: Shien/Djem So, a variant of form III. When being attacked, you can use your reaction to roll an acrobatics check against the attacker's attack roll. If you fail, the attack applies normally, but if you succeed, and the enemy was using a melee weapon, you take an opportunity attack, dealing half damage (Round down). If you succeeded, and the enemy was using a ranged weapon, you reflect the attack back onto the enemy, dealing half damage (Round down).
Niman
You practiced form VI: Niman, a form based on mixing both force abilities, and quick agile attacks. If you used Force Push, Force Pull, or Force Repulse, you can take the attack action directly after as a part of the same action, by expending 1 level one or higher spell slot.
Juyo/Vaapad
You practiced form VII: Juyo/Vaapad, a form based on using your emotions to fuel your attacks, and deal more damage. This form gives you a +2 to all Lightsaber damage.
